Silence- Chasity Hamilton

The screaming in my head
never stops,
never ends.


All the while I try to be
the silence...
the silence
that you need.

Suffocated thoughts,
strangled sounds,
that slip from my mind-
only in the dark confines
of my four walls.



A yearning,
a burning
to find that place
where solace is sound.

Puddles of muddled words
that were once my own.
I sacrifice
to end the hues
of lightning in your eyes.


But the screaming
never stops,
never ends.



The night is heavy-
the silhouette of your laughter,
so foreign to my ears-
misted over with a dark emotion.



And we'll laugh 'till we cry-
for an excuse to let go,
to push it all away.


I try to be silent-
but the screaming
never stops,
never ends.
